The Accountability & Capacity Building Initiative by Lesotho CSOs bringing together Police, CSOs & the Public for the realization of Human Rights compliance by the Lesotho Mounted Police Services

Project overview

Sesotho Media has partnered with She-Hive Association to implement an action that seeks to address the violation of human rights by members of the Lesotho Mounted Police Service. The objective of the project is to create platforms for meaningful joint consultations linking the public, police and civil society organizations in identifying and documenting human rights abuse challenges involving the Lesotho Mounted Police Service.

The intervention will therefore create safe spaces/platforms for joint consultative discussions aimed at unmuting/breaking the silence around violation of Human Rights by LMPS. Bearing in mind that the action aims at strengthening greater involvement of local CSOs and the public in Security Sector Reforms; this intervention will build inclusive conflict resolution mechanisms and capacity of various stakeholders notably the public including marginalised groups, CSOs and LMPS, to jointly address violation of Human Rights.

Beneficiaries

The general public, LGBTIQ+ people and youth.
